Google Analytics

After waiting for a several days, finally I get Google Analytics Invitation Code from Google Analytics Team. Now it’s time to install Google Analytics on my Blog

What is Google Analytics?

Google Analytics tells us everything we want to know about how our visitors found us and how they interact with our site. We’ll be able to focus our marketing resources on campaigns and initiatives that deliver ROI, and improve our site to convert more visitors. In another word, Google Analytics is a statistics service provided free of charge by Google.

How do we sign up for Google Analytics?

There are several steps to sign up for Google Analytics:

Sign up for Google Analytics by visiting the Google Analytics home page. From there, we’ll be able to create a new free account.

If we don’t already have a Google Account, we’ll need to create one before signing up for Google Analytics. Google Accounts offer single sign-on to many of Google’s applications, and ensure the highest level of security for our account. We can create a new Google Account from the Google Analytics home page.

If we’re an AdWords advertiser, we can also sign up for Analytics from within our AdWords account. Google Analytics has been closely integrated into our AdWords account under the new Analytics tab – click the tab and follow the instructions to start tracking AdWords campaign data and ROI information.

For me, I have to wait for several days to get Google Analytics Invitation Code from Google Analytics Team. If You so lucky, may be you don’t have to wait like me So be patience for this.

How to install Google Analytics on our site

After we received Google Analytics Invitation Code, we have to follow the instructions below to redeem our invitation code:

Option 1: If we have an AdWords account

Signing up for Analytics is easy to do through our AdWords account:

Log in to our AdWords account at adwords.google.com and click the Analytics tab

To sign up without an AdWords account, we’ll need to first make sure that we have a free Google Account before continuing with the sign-up process.

A Google Account is a single email address and password combination that allows us to log in to a variety of Google services, including Analytics, AdWords, Google Groups and our personalized Google home page.

I have been using the Google Analytics to track the stats of my 4 Blogs and I am extremely impressed by the amount of extensive reporting and data that it provides that help me greatly to optimize my Adsense strategies. The urchin tracker code is extremely simple to implement and the result are great. Specially the graphical format reports and the geographic distribution of traffic give you the exact picture of your traffic.
